8.3.1807 dine at Plunket's, w. Dolland

The only example of this name in Godwin's diary. Nearly all the Dollands in directories were of the Dollond optician family (DNB per.1750-1871), very often spelt Dolland. Old Bailey 15.2.1804 Barnard Dollond cheese and ham dealer 89 Strand. The guests at Plunket's were mostly Irish and the name Dolland was not unknown in Ireland but I found no likely candidates.

3.3.1807 at mrs Hippisley's, w. Wolsey / 24.2.1811 Wolsey calls / 25.2.1811 again / 18.3.1811 again



Despite the fame of Cardinal Wolsey this was a rare surname in Godwin's day. Wolseley was more common, and as the guests at mrs Hippisley's were of Irish connections, Sir William Wolseley (1779-1819) 3rd baronet of Carlow who died unmarried, is a possible, but I could find very little about him, and he seems less likely for the three calls in 1811.

3.3.1807 Rossewens at mrs Hippisley's

Perhaps an Irish name but I found no trace of it in that spelling

1.3.1807 dine at King's w. Butlers, Mays, Supple, Italian Jew & mrs Hippisley; adv. Plunkets

All the guests listed by Godwin were Irish (apart from the Italian Jew). Supple was an Irish name and only appeared this once in Godwin's diary. There were some of this name living in London.

20.2.1807 call on Philips, adv. Ring

Quite likely John Ring 1752-1821 doctor and author. His will PCC 18.5.1822. Morn Post 12.11.1821 died 7.11.1821 age 69. In 1807 his "Beauties of the Edinburgh Review, the Stinkpot of Literature" was published

6.2.1807 Furner sups



Only mention in Godwin's diary. Could have come in the company of any of the other guests, Hazlitt, Dawe, the Flathers or Godwin's nephew William Godwin. An uncommon name except in Kent, Sussex and Hampshire. Some London examples in work notes below

4.2.1807 dine at Hawthorn's; invités Ruthven

Mentioned only once in Godwin's diary and as someone invited but who didn't come. Very likely Edwrad Southwell Ruthven (DNB 1772?-1836) who had just entered parliament and was a Whig supporter

4.2.1807 Mackoy at Hawthorns



A rare name spelt like this (as opposed to McCoy), but did exist, for example Ann Mackoy widow of St Martin i t Fields will PCC 24.7.1800 but she had no Mackoy heirs. No clear identification
